Chicago: Between two tours of Europe and Asia and select dates in the United States this summer, it seems audiences can’t get enough of the legendary rock ‘n’ roll band with horns, Chicago.
“It’s not only busy, it’s busier than ever,” said original band member Jimmy Pankow. “It’s gotten to the point where the music has become a phenomenon.”
This year marks Chicago’s 47th consecutive year of touring, without missing a single concert date.
“This is what we’ve done for so long that it’s become almost something that we cannot do without,” Pankow said. “It’s a communion because you created this music and little did you know when you sat at a piano and notated some intimate, personal ideas and thoughts that they would become shared with hundreds of thousands of people and become an experience, not just notes on paper.”
The show will take audiences on a magical journey, starting from the very beginning.
“The adrenaline gets pumping,” Pankow said. “The people get nuts. The show we’re doing is probably the best show we’ve ever done in terms of pacing, in terms of capturing the body of music of all these years. We start the show with the first album and we include selections from our new album.”
